Historically in Tennessee, a large proportion of solids produced at publicly owned treatment works within the State have been disposed via reuse in agriculture or in landfills. As agricultural usage faces uncertainty with potential Federal or State regulatory challenges, a larger proportion of disposal has moved to final landfill disposal, particularly as other disposal options, like producing a Class A product or incineration, are becoming more expensive in comparison due to increased understanding of their environmental impact and subsequent regulatory changes. In addition, the potential for landfill disposal faces significant increases in tipping fees and potential growing restrictions are concerning, especially as landfill capacities are decreasing in certain regions of the State. While facing challenges with respect to landfill disposal, there are also significant potential opportunities to make use of biosolids as a resource. Biosolids contain valuable nutrients and organics, presenting potential opportunities for beneficial use as fertilizers, soil amendments, or for energy recovery. Acknowledging the solids challenges faced by Tennessee wastewater utilities, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) commissioned the LDA/Black & Veatch team to perform a study to evaluate the challenges and opportunities related to biosolids management in the State and provide recommendations regarding strategies and assistance for biosolids management going forward. As part of a biosolids management improvement effort, the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) has studied biosolids management practices across the State, identifying ways to improve biosolids management while also looking at PFAS impacts and solutions for Tennessee utilities. This presentation will discuss and summarize the findings and joint efforts of TDEC and the LDA/Black & Veatch team through the development of a statewide biosolids assessment report, while also developing biosolids management approaches & technology selections for small utilities to assist those that do not have the technical resources to adequately address biosolids management.
